Friday Favorites #11: Week of 11/15

Good Morning! Do you ever have the kind where you wake up way past your alarm… stressed and worried you missed something important? I’ve done it a number of times but can usually pull it off by getting out the door before anybody notices. Today, not so much.

Apparently I slept through my alarm today and according to my husband got up and turned off the second one without any recollection of doing so. I have some serious issues waking up these days, ya’ll!

Anyways, I apologize for the delay this morning, but fear not… here is this week’s installment of Friday Favorites with a #FFavorites link up at the end!

Friday Favorites #11: Week of 11/15

• poof dish sponge + soap holder

I found this adorable dish washing sponge on my latest grocery run at Meijer. I’ve never seen a poof cleaner before!

While we’re at it, I have also been loving this soap holder I purchased at Bath & Body Works months and months ago. The shell adds a little decorative flair to your average kitchen soap and can replace the scent with whatever you’d like from season to season.

Never thought I would be so excited about cleaning products.

• clean throw pillows and blankets

Speaking of cleaning things, I am currently on a crazy kick of cleaning throw pillows and blankets in the house this week. I guess you can say I have been on a mission to get rid of as much cat hair as possible.

I have been nervous about throwing some of them into the washing machine, but figured after two years of having them it’s time. Lucky for me these Pier 1 down pillows didn’t ruin one bit on the extra delicate cycle!

• Fiber One 80 calories chocolate cereal

I already mentioned this cereal in this week’s WIAW post, but it deserves another shout out. It’s ridiculously delicious and perfect for satisfying my extreme sweet tooth!

I even enjoyed a bowl with light chocolate almond milk for dessert last night. A chocolate fiend I am.

• cherishing the last of the fall colors

With temperatures dropping down to the low thirties this week (yikes!) I am taking in any remaining fall colors I pass on my drive around town. Sadly these trees are becoming more and more bare by the day and that might be breaking my heart a little.

Don’t be a stranger just yet, fall!

• first snow fall of the season

With those low temperatures came our very first snow fall of the season Monday! See what I meant about the trees?

They’re still beautiful and look even more magical with a fresh coat of white snow, which I guess is kind of cool to see. Secretly (or not so secretly) I am keeping my fingers crossed that the next snow fall holds of for another month or so.

Granted, I work from home and enjoy them mostly in the mornings or afternoons, so I am not exactly taking them with me out into the cold. But for now, I am still loving them!

And I think that’s it for now. I don’t want to babble too long without getting to the link up. Here you go, friends!

I actually have the opposite problem with my alarm and always always wake up before it. Seriously, my sleeping issues are bad.
Sounds like it’s getting cold where you live! Thankfully where I’m from we never get snow so it will stay looking like Fall for quite a while:)
But I do wish we got one day of snow. Since it’s kind of fun once in a while.
And surprises in the mail are the best. It’s like second Christmas.

Man, sometimes I wish I had that problem. Just to have the satisfaction of being able to say “oh, I still have thirty minutes…” but to each their own. It is! I need to get a warmer winter coat ASAP. Enjoy the fall, beautiful!

Love love that cereal! I found blonde roast Starbucks coffee at the store yesterday (which gave me a star AND promises me a free 12 oz coffee if I bring in the bag when it’s gone) and gingerbread creamer, which gave me THE best coffee this morning! I never sleep past my alarm because I’m a morning person and a light sleeper, so once my alarm goes off, I’m up! It’s a blessing and a curse 😉

I’ve tried that coffee before. For some reason I can’t get into Starbucks plain coffee very much. I’ve always been a Dunkin’ fan. BUT those PSL’s and Peppermint Mocha’s are truly out of this world amazing!

Love the final quote, hilarous!! 😀 I would love to try that cereal just because I love chocolate! I mean who doesn’t?
I don’t get to experience snow and cold because of this lovely Caribbean weather, but once in a while snowy-like must be cool!

We already lost all our leaves a few weeks ago 🙁 In fact, we’ve had snow for a couple weeks now, and it’s snowing again today. I really wish that fall wasn’t over in the blink of an eye — it’s my favourite season and I want a chance to enjoy it more! That being said, I’m super excited about the upcoming holiday season 😀
